Reserved Characters
Characters like ?, &, and # have special meanings in a URL. Encoding these ensures they are treated as data rather than control characters.
Why Percent-Encoding?
URLs are strictly limited to the US-ASCII character set. Any character outside this range (like emojis or non-latin alphabets) must be converted into a safe 'escaped' format.
Tool Mechanics
We use the standard encodeURIComponent() API. This is the preferred method for query parameters as it handles characters including / and :.
Common Questions
encodeURI keeps the address structure (://) intact, while encodeURIComponent escapes everything. Use the latter for search queries or data payloads.
Absolutely. All transformations occur locally in your browser. No data is transmitted to any server or third-party tracking script.
